Modeling the risk-based decisions of the microgrid in day-ahead energy and reserve markets considering stochastic dispatching of electrical and thermal energy storages by Salah Bahramara (21347576)

“…This is done through stochastic dispatching of the MG resources which includes the electrical and thermal energy storages and the combined heat and power unit as the second-stage decisions. The results showed that the MGO’s expected total cost decreases when it participates in both the energy market and the reserve market in comparison with the case it only participates in the energy market. …”
